Chapter 16: CH 16

His Majesty only had three sons alive today. The eldest son became Chengwang Qin Yue, the third son is Pingwang Qin Rui, and the fifth son is Dingwang Qin Xi.

Chengwang is now in his thirties. He is currently the first child of His Majesty today. When he was born, today’s majesty was fighting on the battlefield with the founding emperor. Today’s Majesty is a little guilty, so he has a preference for Chengwang, and hence his eldest daughter, Princess Weiyang, is also a favorite.

Emperor Zhao has not established a crown prince, but Chengwang was the eldest. He has made many moves in recent years. He has made some plans for the throne of the Emperor. He has been operating in the imperial court for many years, has many supporters, and has become more and more domineering in his way of doing things. He has somewhat enjoyed the state of power ahead of time.

Pingwang’s mother imperial concubine, was born to the Duke of Huangui Zhongguo. The Duke of Zhongguo is one of the two masters who made outstanding contributions to Daye’s founding. He is highly regarded by the founding emperor and today’s Majesty, and is also the greatest reliance of Pingwang.

Compared with the two wangs, Dingwang has been operating in the imperial court for a short time. His Mother Empress was born in Fengzhou to the Zhang family who were quite ordinary in terms of aristocratic families. He was always under the strong pressure of the two wangs. It is difficult to compete with the other. Every time Chengwang or Pingwang goes into trouble, he can only bear it.

The Xie family and the Yin family formed a strong alliance to ensure the smooth continuation of the family when power overlapped.

The wedding was scheduled for the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is only less than three months away. At this time, the most important thing was to get married.

After the discussion between the Yin family and their son, Yin’s father asked Han Shi to decline the invitation from Princess Weiyang on behalf of Yin Mingyu. The reason was ready-made: preparing for marriage, inconvenient to go out.

When the news reached the West Corner Courtyard, Yin Mingrui’s difficulty to calm down was reduced by half in an instant, and she began to worry about Yin Mingyu: “Second sister, this has offended Princess Weiyang for no reason. Will she embarrass you in the future?”

Yin Mingruo also looks at Yin Mingyu with a worried face.

Yin Mingyu gently touched the book on the table with her fingers, and her eyebrows were slightly knit.

When Yin Mingrui saw her, she  thought she was worried, and comforted her with the Fouth lady.

They were just saying, “The marriage has already been decided, so we can only relax”, “When we get married to the Xie family and become the Xie family’s wife, the Xie family will protect her”…… Yin Mingyu relaxed her eyebrows and said, “Forget it, it can only be like this.”

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo looked at each other and agreed, “Sister should think so.”

Yin Mingyu looked at the two and sighed: “All the things in my house are my savings over the years. I can’t give up any of them without being hurt.”

Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo: “……?!”

Yin Mingruo asked affirmatively, “Second Sister…… is troubled over this?”

“How can it not be difficult.” Yin Mingyu seemed very helpless and relieved. “I originally hesitated, but two sisters persuaded me to marry the Xie family in the future. Afterward, I’ll be  the wife of the Xie family. it is difficult to come back and live, it is reasonable to take them away.”

Yin Mingrui suddenly became angry, and her chest heaved. “You must have thought about it for a long time, and it will fall on us. What kind of family do we count as for you to calculate so clearly?”

She finished speaking, slamming the door angrily.

Yin Mingyu slowly turns to Yin Mingruo: “She said…… ‘A little’?”

Yin Mingruo can’t speak, but can only smile awkwardly.

However, the Yin family would refuse, which was not unexpected.

Princess Weiyang had also expected, she threw away the reply to Yin’s refusal. Two days later, she sent another invitation prepared in advance to Yin’s house.

The wording of this invitation has not changed, but the signing time has been slightly modified.

In the West Corner Courtyard, Yin Mingrui immediately cleared up the past grievances and hurried to find Yin Mingyu. As soon as she entered the room, she said anxiously, “Second Sister! How can this be……”

Yin Mingruo, who arrived early, slowly turned around and looked at the third sister with shocked and dull eyes.
